Elderslie ELC is a contemporary long day care centre providing a home away from home which caters for children aged between 6 weeks and 6 years located in the suburb of Elderslie. Elderslie ELC puts the child at the centre of everything we do with the goal to provide the highest level of care and education. The educational program run within the centre stems from the observed interests of the individual child which makes learning interesting and fun. The program allows for children to be creative through art and craft, music and movement, while also catering to their cognitive development through language and literacy. Your child will be immersed in a variety of indoor and outdoor experiences at Elderslie ELC, with child-led play inviting exploration and investigation through a hands-on approach to learning. We run this program alongside school terms, with weekly (fun) homework to help children become confident and create a routine in preparation for primary school. We work closely with local primary schools and liaison with teachers to ensure we’re providing the best start for each child according to their future teachers. We encourage parent participation at the service and at home, with homework sheets that display children’s developing confidence and include families in their learning. We include a Jolly Phonics program to help children link sound, sight and creation of English letters. The school readiness program is non-compulsory and children and families are welcome to choose to participate at their own level. This supportive and nurturing environment will encourage confidence within the child to explore, achieve and develop in their own time and in their own individual way. We provide everything, including healthy and nutritious meals from our onsite kitchen, nappies and wipes. The centre incorporates-
